Like a Mother

~I Thessalonians 2.7 As apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to make some demands of you, but instead we were like children among you. Or we were like a mother feeding and caring for her own children.

At this point in the New Testament, Paul is traveling from city to city sharing the good news of Christ. Here he writes from Corinth (Acts 18.1-3) to the recently-planted church at Thessalonica, also using our need of food as an analogy, as Jesus had so often done.
